I think you should put some air in the front tires first...

I think you should cut a foot of each side, plow is way to big for the tractor. I don't think you'll be able to push much more than 4 inches with it if angled.

I assume that this post is mostly humorous, but in the off chance that the OP was sincere in his question, I have only one comment.

This is the "bigger is better" philosophy gone to seed.

Yes, I was intending to be humorous, I actually had used the tractor to lift the blade so I could grind and paint the tripedge, before installing a new cutting edge.

I thought it looked funny so I psoted it, thought you guys might get a laugh.

I checked this thread because the typical operator on here doesn't own a tractor big enough for an 8' blade let alone a 9'. Good one!!!! :p

Well I thought it might be a joke, but wasn't sure so I figured I didn't want to hurt anyone's feelings by saying, "Are you Joking"
It' not that far a stretch of what I've seen some guys do :eek:

That might of been someones pride and joy project. Imagine how devastated you would feel if someone called your hard work a Joke :(
I will make constructive critical comments if I don't think someones work is a stroke of brilliance, but I try to not knock them down.

So no, it wasn't obvious, but I was thinking maybe....:)

I have a Kubota L35 and have a straight 9'-6" blade on it. I had it on a Ford 1520 before I got the L35. Moves snow no problem with rear chains and a 6' blower on the back for weight. Now wet snow is another matter, just take smaller bites.
